‘Postcards’–The Staten Island September 11 Memorial, New York
Not far from the Staten Island Ferry terminal, ‘Postcards’ is this New York borough’s memorial to the 274 Staten Island residents who died in, or as a result of, the September 11 attacks of 2001 and in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. (Some of those memorialized here worked as firefighters, police officers, or other rescue workers.) Gaze between the two wing-like panels, as seen here, and you can see the spot on Manhattan where the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center once stood. Seen from the side, the panels resemble the postcards of the memorial’s title. Their walls contain granite plaques, one for each victim, that provide information about that person, and are carved with their profile.
